I’m still listening to the MSG evening show of the 19th of September 1970. I’m thinking this is the greatest show ever played at the garden. This crowed just heard That’s the Way, Bron-Y-Aur (not Bron-Y-Aur Stomp), then Since I’ve Been Loving You……….all this prior to the release of Zeppelin III on October 5th.
I once new a dude back in NY, he was as big a Tull fan as we are Zep fans, so we would trade boots, anyway, in the 70’s he worked security for the Garden, and he made sure he worked all the zeppelin shows. He told me his 2 favorite moments was Jimmy’s bow solo during a August 73 show, and bright white lights during Achilles Last Stand during the 6 nights in ’77….but I have got to think, in my humble option, this show on the 19th of September, 1970 has got to be the best I have ever heard from the Garden.
I think the entire band had the death of Hendrix on their minds during this show….it’s as if every note is approached in a manner of brilliance.
